Expectations

All Wendell Middle Schools expectations for behavior and the team rules apply in this CC8 class. All students should come to class ready to work with the correct materials and a good attitude. Due to the volume of material that we will be covering this year is it critical that every student keeps up with every assignment and due date. All students will be required to keep a binder with notes and homework from this year. We will be working on organizational skills to help keep all materials together.

In the 8th grade we have high standards of accountability for our students, they must take ownership of their own learning. With this being said I am here to help you grow and learn so reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns at anytime. I love questions big and small, if you are wondering about something you are probably not the only one, so please ask.

Grading Policy

Late/Missing Work

Students are expected to complete all work assigned by their teachers. The following are the deductions to be used for late assignments handed in within 10 school days of the original due date.

1 day late 10% penalty2-5 days late 20% penalty6-10 days late 40% penaltyA student may still earn a zero if they fail to hand in the assignment within the 10 day window.

The original grade will be on the assignment along with the deduction and final grade.

Working Lunch may be assigned to provide incentive for students to complete a missing assignment. Working Lunch may be assigned until the assignment is complete.

If an assignment has been corrected in class; an alternate, similar assignment may be given.

Special consideration will be given in the case of extended absences due to injury or chronic illness.

Retest Procedures

Students who do not pass a test will have an opportunity to retest provided they have completed missing work (class work and homework) associated with the unit and/or made test corrections within two weeks of the original test date.
